Description

Basil Hayden is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that has been produced since 1796. The brand is named after Basil Hayden Sr., who was a distiller and farmer in Kentucky. The whiskey is made using a high-rye mash bill, which gives it a spicy and complex flavor profile.

The production process for Basil Hayden begins with the selection of the finest grains, which are then milled and mixed with water to create a mash. The mash is then fermented using a proprietary strain of yeast, which helps to develop the unique flavor profile of the whiskey. After fermentation, the mash is distilled in copper pot stills, which helps to remove impurities and create a smooth and flavorful spirit. The whiskey is then aged in charred oak barrels for a minimum of eight years, which gives it a rich and complex flavor profile.

Basil Hayden is known for its smooth and spicy flavor profile, which is characterized by notes of caramel, vanilla, and cinnamon. The whiskey has a medium body and a long, warming finish, making it a popular choice among bourbon enthusiasts.

Overall, Basil Hayden is a high-quality bourbon whiskey that is made using traditional methods and the finest ingredients. Its rich and complex flavor profile, combined with its long history and heritage, make it a popular choice among whiskey lovers around the world.

Tasting notes

Basil Hayden is a Bourbon Small Batch from Kentucky which has the particularity of being made from a quantity of rye twice that of other Bourbons.

This American whiskey stands out for the contrast between the spicy notes of rye and the sweet sweetness of corn. Eight years old, it is well balanced and relatively sweet (40°) and can be enjoyed on its own or in a cocktail.
